COFFEE-POT.

` Be it known that I, Eiuin FREDERICK Siniinirr, a subject` of the King of England, residing at Meridan l). O., in the Province of Saskatchewan, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new aiiduseful Improvements in Coffee-Pots; and 1 do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use .the same.

The present invention is directed to improvements in cofi'ee pots and has for its object to so construct an article of this type that the coee may be placed in a receptacle and supported within the pot so as to absorb the strength from the coee, and at the saine time eliminating the necessity of boiling the coffee.

A further object of the invention .is to provide a coffee pot so constructed that when coffee is poured therefrom it will be filtered and in a clear state.

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides iii the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimedv and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through the pot. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line'2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the coffee receptacle. `Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view showing the fastening means for the funnel member.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the body of the pot, the upper end of which is provided with a vertical iiange 2, said flange being provided with an interior groove 3 having communicating therewith vertical grooves 4 which receive the lugs 5 formed at diametrically opposite points upon the outer surface of the ange 6 of the funnel member 7 sothat the saine are guided to the groove 3, whereupon partially rotating the member 7 the same is securely held in place.

To facilitate the rotation of the funnel member 7 the neck 8 thereof is provided near its upper end with oppositely disposed perforations 9 in which are secured the lower lower end of the neck 8 is interiorly thread- Specification of Letters Patent.

ed, as `at 11 for receiving the threaded end or the tubular section 12 which is likewise connected to a similar section 13, the lower end yof which is in threaded engagement with the upper end of the tube 14, said tube having its lower end iitted in the socket 15 formed centrally of the bottom of the pot. s

lhe neck 8 is provided with interior vertical grooves 16 which are intersected by annular grooves 17, the section 12 being also providedavith vertical grooves 17 and annular intersecting gi ooves 18, the .grooves 17 being-in line with the grooves 16 of the neck 8. The section 13 is likewise provided with a groove 19 which is intersected by an annular groove 20. The groove 19 is in line with the vertical groove 21 formed in the upper end of the tube 14, said groove opening into the annular groove 22. It will be ofv course understood that the vertical grooves 16, 17, 19 and 21 are formed at diametri-cally opposite points, the purpose of which will appear later.

The coffee receptacle consists of a cylindrical body 23 the bottom ofwhich is provided with a wire mesh screen 24, said body having an annular groove 25 formed near its upper edge, and oppositely disposed vertical groot/'es 26 having communication therewith for receiving the lugs 27 Carried upon the opposite side of the top 28, said top being provided with a handle 29 which when gras} 3ed and turned will causeJ the lugs 27 to engage the groove 25, thus preventing accidental removal of the top. The

top is provided with a wire mesh screen 29y so that' boiling water may pass through the neck 8 ofthe funnel member and arek moved downwardly therein until oneof the grooves 17 is reached whereupon partial rotation of the body 1, the lugs will engage one of the annular grooves 17 thus supporting the coffee receptacle in the neck 8, and at which time the ycapacity of the pot will, for instance, be eight cups. Should it be desired to make only six cups of coffee the funnel member 7 `is removed from the pot thus carrying the connected sections 12 and 13, and tube 14. It is then only necessary to disconnect the neck 8 from the section 12 and to place the coffee receptacle in the section 12 which is then again connected to the neck 8 and placed within the pot. It is obvious that the same operation is necessary to make four cups of coee, that is to say that the coiee receptacle is then placed in the receptacle 13. Should it only be clesired to make two cups of coffee the same mode of operation is resorted to and the coffee receptacle placed in the tube 14. It

will be of course understood that the grooves4 in the sections 12, 13 and tube 14 serve to support the receptacle when the lugs 30 thereof engage the proper groove. The neck 8, and sections 12 and 13 are provided with perforations 31, 32 and 33, respectively, perforations 34 being likewise provided for the tube 14.

From this construction it will be seen that when the contee receptacle is placed to make the required amount of coffee, boiling water is poured into the funnel member 7, and will pass through the ground coliee into the receptacle as is the usual practice in making as is known drip coee. To retain the heat Within the pot 1 a cover 35 is provided, and has its flange 36 fitted in the upper end of said funnel member. l,"Vhen the pot is being used at its capacity it is only necessary that the handle 10 be removed from the neck S of' the funnel inemloer, this being readily accomplished due to the fact that the handle 10 is formed from resilient wire and may be easily sprung from engagement with the perforations 9. Further, if the pot is being used at its capacity the coee receptacle is placed in the neck 8, and the section 12, section 13 and tube 14 may be removed if desired. Then making, for instance, six cups, the neck and section 12 are connected and the receptacle placed in the latter, and at which time it is not necessary to use section 13 and tube 14. To make four cups of coee the receptacle is placed in section 13 and the tube 14 removed. It is of course obvious that the tube 14 need not be used, when using the pot for makingmore than two cups or' coffee, it being only necessary to use the same when two or less cups are desired, and at which time the neck and connected -sections will direct the hot water to the receptacle supported in the tube.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that a coi'ee pot has been provided with novel means for supporting the coffee receptacle so that drip coee may be made. It will be of course understood that tea may be placed in the receptacle, the operation being the same. It is apparent that a water gage, of any Well known construction can be connected to the pot so that the amount of water can be readily determined.

V'Vhat is claimed is 1. A vcoffee pot having a funnel member mounted inlits upper end, a plurality of detachably connected sections, the uppermost section being detachably connected to the neck of the funnel member, a tube connected to the lowermost section, a coffee receptacle removably mounted in either of the sections, or the tube.

2. A coffee pot having a funnel member removably mounted in its upper end, the neck of said funnel member being provided with vertical and annular grooves, detachably. connected sections carried by the neck of the funnel member, vertical and annular grooves formed in each of the'sections, thc vertical grooves of each section beingv in alinement with each otherand the similar groovesof said neck, a tube having itsy lower end resting in a socket formed inthe bottom of the pot, and its upper end connected to the lowermost section, said tube havingzvertical grooves formed in its upper end, saidgrooves opening into an annular groove carried bythe tube, a coee receptaclevhaving lugs formed upon its sides adapted to detachably engage the annular grooves formed vin the neck of vthe funnel member, sections and tube after the lugs have passed through the vertical grooves formed in said parts, as and for .the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof, l alliX ymy signature, in the presencero-f 4two witnesses.
